I'm working on my first cyberlox wig ever and I'm not entirely sure how to go about doing a few different techniques so I thought I'd request from you ladies.

1. Saran Wrap (not bubble wrap) around things like grid paper, synthetic dreads as well as more saran wrap and I was wondering if heating it up would shrink it a bit, if thats the best way to go about sealing them a bit and any other ideas about saran wrap dreads.

Rivets aren't actually used in foam, otherwise you'd have a tonne of things poking out the other end and annoying the crap out of you! (Rivets (most commonly, poprivets) are permanent sheet metal fasteners but have different applications too). What you normally see are called eyelets or grommets. These things. Anywho, I have discovered that foam does NOT like to be punched out with anything other than a hole punch. Most hole punches are 1/4". I bought a tonne of gorgeous eyelets, but they were about 3/16" or something so my hole punch was too big and the tool I use is only one size, 1/4"! Bastards haha. I use something similar to this. I got it off eBay from some American seller with 200 silver *1/4"* eyelets! Oh and the difference between eyelets and grommets. Eyelets don't have anything on the back, so on the back of the foam, you will see where it has spread out and dug in. Grommets have a backing and it's more reinforced than an eyelet, hence why they're used in shoes, clothing and corsets

With "plastic string", you have several options. Rexlace is the most common. It's flat and because it's plastic, it can be curled or straightened with hot water! Tut here. There's also smooth tubing, it's like jelly. There's flat jelly lacing too! There's S'getti, Rexlace's round cousin. Scoubies/Loopie Cord are cheap and fun to make lanyards with, but is a lot more shiny and smells funny compared to Rexlace, S'getti and smooth tubing, well, the cheaper ones you find at variety stores smell anyway. Just tie them into the wig, but don't use too much, it can get freaking heavy!

I haven't ever personally used saran wrap, but since it's so long, I could totally see using it. Maybe rip off a chunk, cut it in three strips (the long way), sorta let it roll up and stick together, and then braid it? You could slip it through existing dreads or braids first (if you're using a cheap wig as a base, or something) and then braid it. Or what about doing twists with one part hair and one part saran wrap?
